Eleven players were in action today: Peter, Gary, Steve, Ralph, Mike, Bob H, Jan, Anne, Albert, Sharon and Ron. We had friendly skies and the courts were dry for a change. So, lots of matches followed - some fiercely fought. We destroyed two pickleballs, scuffed up some paddles and left welts on a few players who made the mistake of 'receiving' overhand kill shots while hanging around the kitchen. Advice: if you decide to serve up a lob from the non-volley line, be sure to get it out of your opponent's reach, or be prepared to accept an almost guaranteed torso tattoo.

Miscellaneous:
Spidy was was given an unofficial administrative warning because he made some colorful, comments about a ball which had been cleverly marked with a red a
heart on it.
Pit Bull managed to store several p'balls under her Spandex top along with other 'equipment'. Removing the balls for play caused quite a stir.
We played for 2-1/2 hours finishing off the day - when the crowd thinned down - with a few "A" games the last of which was won by
Stevie Wonder and Albert 11-9 over
Spidy & Spike. A rematch is on the horizon. Looks like we'll be playing on Friday, March 11, 2011. Spike
